Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company solving the world’s most challenging problems. The company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. From fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, Infleqtion enables “quantum everywhere” through our ecosystem of devices and platforms. Our mission is to commercialise atom-based quantum products that provide orders of magnitude improvements in performance and computing applications.

Location

Infleqtion has offices in the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. This is a full-time position split between our Kidlington, Oxford office and the National Quantum Computing Centre, Harwell. Work from home permitted up to 2 days per week based on business needs and manager approval.

About the role

We are hiring a UK-based Senior Manager, Corporate Communications to strengthen our visibility and reputation in the UK market. This is a hands-on role focused on messaging and narrative, UK media engagement (in partnership with our PR agency), and high-quality events that build relationships across customers, partners, and the UK quantum ecosystem. You will collaborate closely with global stakeholders to ensure the UK story is aligned with company-wide priorities.

What you’ll do

Messaging and narrative (core)

  • Own UK-specific messaging: localise the corporate narrative for UK audiences while keeping global message discipline.
  • Develop and maintain UK comms assets (factsheets, FAQs, briefing materials, stakeholder talking points) that translate complex topics into clear, credible stories.
  • Identify proof points and story angles that resonate in the UK market (capability, ecosystem impact, applications, partnerships).

Media and external visibility (agency-led, you enable and support)

  • Partner with our PR agency to execute UK media strategy—providing angles, proof points, spokespeople access, and fast-turn materials that make pitching successful.
  • Support agency pitching primarily through strong enablement, while doing select direct pitching for priority opportunities and relationships.
  • Manage UK inbound media activity: coordinate interviews, prepare spokespeople, and support rapid response when news breaks.
  • Write and edit press releases, statements, Q&A, briefing docs, and social copy; review agency drafts to ensure quality and message pull-through.

Events and ecosystem engagement

  • Plan and deliver UK events end-to-end—roundtables, partner briefings, conference activations, milestone moments, and site visits.
  • Own run-of-show, speaker prep, vendor coordination, budgets, and on-the-day execution.
  • Build relationships across UK ecosystem stakeholders (partners, research centres, industry groups) and turn events into reusable comms assets.

Global collaboration and alignment

  • Work closely with global marketing and communications partners to align UK activities with global narratives, launches, and executive visibility priorities.
  • Provide UK inputs (local context, stakeholder feedback, media learnings) that strengthen the overall communications strategy.

Quantum Jobs in the UK: Roles, Skills, Salaries and How to Get Hired (2026 Guide)

Quantum Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and skills across quantum computing, communications, sensing and cryptography — and how to get hired. In the UK, most quantum jobs cluster around hubs such as London, Cambridge, Oxford, Bristol and Edinburgh, with common titles including Quantum Software Engineer, Quantum Algorithm Developer, Quantum Hardware Engineer and Post‑Quantum Cryptography Specialist. The easiest way to browse live quantum jobs is via specialist boards like QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, which curate roles specifically in this field so you are not lost in general STEM listings. This guide covers everything you need to know about quantum jobs in the UK in 2026: what roles exist, which skills are in demand, typical salary ranges, and how to position yourself to get hired.

Where to Advertise Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise quantum computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and consortia that reach quantum hardware and Qiskit talent. The global talent pool is tiny — measured in thousands, not tens of thousands — and concentrated around a small number of university physics departments, national laboratories and well-funded hardware startups. Many of the strongest candidates hold PhDs in quantum physics, quantum information or adjacent disciplines and are embedded in academic or research communities that rarely intersect with mainstream job boards. General platforms are largely ineffective for quantum hiring. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community outreach are not optional extras — they are the primary sourcing strategy. This guide, published by QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise quantum computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.
